Lets's calculate LCM of 8847,8721
3 | 8847, 8721 |
3 | 2949, 2907 |
983, 969 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 3 x 983 x 969 = 8572743
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/8572743
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 915/8847,656/8721 is 1/8572743
The formula of LCM is LCM(a1,a2,a3....,an) = ( a1 × a2 × a3 × .... × an) / GCF(a1,a2,a3....,an) x common factors(if more than 2 numbers have common factors).
We need to calculate greatest common factor of 8847,8721 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(8847,8721) = 9
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(8847,8721) x common factors =9 x 1 = 9
LCM(8847,8721) = ( 8847 × 8721 ) / 9
LCM(8847,8721) = 77154687 / 9
LCM(8847,8721) = 8572743
